Eric Ravillious
Born 22 July 1903 – 2 September 1942. Grew up in Eastbourne, born in London. He was an engraver and designer. He was commissioned to be a war artist. His watercolours make you look at familiar landscapes with fresh eyes. There is something uncanny about his work-these are not typical pastoral scenes. (You can view many of his works on Wiki Art here)
